If both he and Swift don't return, it will be an almost complete...
rebuild of our LHP from 2026. Assuming they both do end up leaving, we would have only Danny Lazaro as a LHP that actually pitched for us in 2026.
I assumed Clement would be in line for a possible weekend starter role along with Eisenreich and Grim but he probably saw the success Marciano had at Auburn and figured he would test the waters with the portal and also use it as possible leverage with the MLB Draft. I suppose he could return like Stieg did if he doesn't get drafted and/or doesn't like his transfer destination options but we'll see.

I was big on him from the start. CJS not so much. Great question.**

Most players that are draft eligible (and are legitimate draft candidates)

Final two batters of his VT career bombed him when we really needed him.
